Spottitt Named One of the Global Top 100 Geospatial Companies of 2023 

  • Company news

Spottitt named as one of the Global Top 100 Geospatial Companies of 2023, an annual list of the best geospatial companies in the world as determined by an expert committee and Geoawesomeness, the world’s largest geospatial community. 

Lucy Kennedy, Spottitt co-founder and CEO: “First of all, it is great to have all the hard work of Spottitt’s growing team get recognized. But also, it is super exciting to see how the value of geospatial data and analytics derived from satellites is becoming better understood across multiple markets.”

“We are grateful to Geoawesomeness for listing Spottitt in this year’s list of the top geospatial companies, – added Niccolo Teodori, Spottitt Chief Growth Officer. – Two years ago, when we started our growth journey, after extensive R&D, we only had a handful of customers believing in us. Today, we are a key player for infrastructure owners looking for easy and powerful geospatial data at scale. And this is only the beginning!”

This year the Geoawesomeness team reviewed over 800 companies and created a shortlist of 262. These were voted then by the expert committee of 16 members, who helped decide the final list.

“The annual list is an essential source of information about companies that are utilizing geospatial data and tools to solve problems,” said Muthukumar Kumar, managing partner at Geoawesomeness“ and is aimed to help our community make sense of the ever-changing geospatial industry ecosystem.” 

“Geoawesomeness has been at the forefront of identifying industry trends for over a decade. We are grateful to all members of our expert committee for their time and critical inputs in helping shape this year’s list,” added Aleksander Buczkowski, founder and editor-in-chief, Geoawesomeness.

Spottitt Provides a Solution to Automatically Detect Changing Conditions on the NSW Road & Rail Network

March 28, 2024

Spottitt became Finalist in Transgrid’s Challenge for real-time insights for company’s easement route planning and Champion for Transport for NSW Challenge for tracking safety of roads and railways using satellite data.

The New South Wales network includes 6,800 route kilometres of operational rail lines and 17,600 km of state roads and highways.

TfNSW has identified Earth Observation satellites as a valuable addition to the monitoring technologies currently deployed and was looking for innovation to automatically detect changing conditions of network and potential risk modelling.

Deciding Between Satellites and Drones for Geospatial Data Collection: A Comparative Analysis

January 31, 2024

In recent times, the landscape of asset monitoring has witnessed a transformative shift with the emergence of advanced technologies, particularly satellite and drone systems.

The utilization of Earth observation satellites for monitoring purposes began gaining momentum in the late 20th century. Free government programs, such as those initiated by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), played a pivotal role in providing open access to satellite imagery. These programs not only facilitated scientific research but also allowed industries to leverage satellite data for monitoring critical infrastructure and environmental changes.

Spottitt to Collaborate with Transgrid and Transport for NSW

December 12, 2023

Spottitt has been selected by Transport for NSW and Transgrid to apply satellite-based and AI-powered technology to automatically detect changing conditions in the NSW road and rail network and to provide real-time insights for Transgrid’s easement route maintenance and planning, respectively.

These projects will be conducted within the GRAVITY Challenge 06 program led by Deloitte Australia, an initiative that brings together start-ups, scale-ups, entrepreneurs and universities to address real industrial and environmental problems using space data. The Collaborate Phase will continue until mid-March 2024.

Weathering the Storm: Climate Change Threats to Power Grid Infrastructure

December 7, 2023

As our global climate continues to undergo profound transformations, the challenges posed by climate change are increasingly felt across various sectors of society, including critical infrastructure.

Climate change, characterized by rising temperatures, increased occurrences of extreme weather events, and shifting precipitation patterns, have exposed vulnerabilities within power networks. Often designed under the assumptions of historical climate patterns, now they are increasingly susceptible to the new normal of extreme weather, prolonged heat waves, and more severe freezing.

InSAR Analysis and Corner Reflector Experiments for Infrastructure Stability Monitoring Using Sentinel-1 Imagery

November 16, 2023

National Grid Energy Transmissions (NGET), which owns and maintains the high-voltage electricity transmission network in England and Wales, conducts invasive analysis annually to monitor the towers most at risk of movement. Moreover, the NGET inspection teams perform annual line walking activities and monthly substation inspections during which they visually assess the presence of asset motion. These interventions are crucial to avoid issues which may cause expensive assets replacements or reconstruction. It costs NGET over £6 million per year to monitor only 1% of their most at risk assets.
